***Official*** English Football Season 2019-20

[Uppercut]

Handing Liverpool the league but **** me what a win

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

This squad is finished.

Applicable.

 

[Furball]

Zouma trying to get a January move to Everton?

Kepa is dreadful.

Where have the Everton Dogs of War been all season? Getting Gylfi to make a tackle is unheard of.

Big test for Frank, first bad spell so needs to end it quickly.

If we ignore their spell at the start of the season, sure.

Chelsea are in a weird spot where I don't think the odd result like today really matter that much. They're comfortably better than those below them, but much worse than Liverpool and City.

Are we at the C'mon Leicester stage now?

 

[morgieb]

Are we at the C'mon Leicester stage now?

If they win today they'll be 6 points ahead of City, so quite possibly. A lot harder to see them pulling back an 8 point gap than City hypothetically could though.

Also worth noting that Leicester and City are yet to play each other this season. It'll be an almighty choke if Pool don't win this season.

Are we at the C'mon Leicester stage now?

I’ve skipped that stage and gone straight to trying to make my peace with our new Scouse overlords.

I think for me it's kind of like one of those TV shows that goes on too long, and becomes awful. You kind of just unofficially declare it non-canon in your mind.

I reached this point about 15 years ago.

 

[andmark]

If Liverpool win, I will eagerly wait for the meltdown of this thread. It'll be like EnGlAnD dIdDn'T wIn ThE WoRlD cUp.

 

[sledger]

It really won't though. I should think the reaction would mostly be one of ambivalence.

I don't know. People on here have been acting like it'd be a martian invasion without me really doing anything to add to that belief (which really annoys me btw).

Heh, yet we still watch religiously. Just like WWE

Can't not.

I think I said on here that I thought the end of the WEnger era would be the end of my fandom, but yet here we are.

That said, even I have basically given up on WWE these days. Cbf to even watch the highlights of RAW now. And as Smackdown is now on a Friday... Well there is no way I am spending my weekend on that ****

 

[duffer]

Fwiw Liverpool finally winning it wouldn't really bother me thaaat much. However them winning it unbeaten is something I will never be able to come to terms with.

I work from home a lot these days so Raw is on in the background most weeks. I'm not invested in it at all though.

Niko Kovac apparently reaching out to the club for the role now. What style of football does he try to play?

 

[Pothas]

I don't know. People on here have been acting like it'd be a martian invasion without me really doing anything to add to that belief (which really annoys me btw).

What are you talking about?

 

[Pothas]

This is could be a really tedious Premier League this year. Top 4 could be pretty much be done already with City going past Leicester in time. Arsenal will probably stop being utterly abject at some point so you will have them Spurs and United ending up in the top 7. Only interesting thing could be relegation and even then Watford and Norwich could be done pretty soon so that leaves just one spot.

All the more reason for me to focus on the properly good things in football which is the Championship and the Champions League.

Liverpool fans are just the most annoying winners. They beat Walsall 2-1 in the cup and within a week they’ve written and performed a seven-act Greek play depicting the Midlands Miracle.

But I mean it would just be kayfabe awful, not actually awful.

 

[Cabinet96]

Majority of Liverpool fans I know are absolutely fine and wouldn't negatively impact my life if/when they win the PL. They didn't after the CL. After last season I find it hard to resent their success anymore. They have a few likeable players and a very likeable manager, and have fully earned all their success through nothing but smart reinvestment, improving players and having a great collective. They're now a role model and piece of inspiration for my club and are proof that there's always a chance things will get better if you go about it the right way.

I've gone soft.
